Eren stood in the hallway, the silence of the house pressing against his ears. He looked at Lala, his voice steadier than it had been in years.

"Okay, fine. I will think about it. I am going to change our lives because I am tired, Lala. I don't like it when you are always working. I hate that you can't come home with friends or live a life like your mates. It is not right."

Lala searched his face, seeing a flicker of something she didn't recognize. There was a hardness in his eyes that hadn't been there before the accident.

"I promise you I am going to change things," Eren continued. "Our life has been sad for long enough. Just try to be safe and make sure you are okay at all times."

Lala nodded slowly before retreating to her own room. Left alone in the dim light, Eren pulled out his phone. In the Omega sector, internet access was a luxury controlled by strict blackouts. He checked the time: 11 p.m. In exactly one hour, the digital gates would open for the lower class, and he would finally be able to research this "system" that had taken over his life.

When the clock struck midnight, he began typing. He needed to know how far this thing was willing to go for him. The first search result showed an amazing anime-style illustration of a celestial interface. As he dug deeper into obscure forums and archived threads, he realized these systems did exist in the fringes of the world, though they always came with a price. He didn't know the disadvantage of his own yet, but he didn't care. It had brought him back from the dirt. It had given him a second heartbeat. He was down for anything.

He scrolled through a comment thread where a user claimed that wealth generation was tied to "favor" and "charity." The logic clicked. If he wanted more money, he had to spend it on the right people.

He looked at his contact list. Aside from his family, Hannah was the only person there. She was the only one he could use to test this theory. He dialed her number, his heart racing as the line rang.

"I thought you would never call," Hannah said, her voice teasing. "What's up? Thank you again for the other day."

Eren smiled. Not long ago, he had been a complete pushover, someone people only noticed when they needed a floor scrubbed. Now, a girl like Hannah actually wanted to talk to him.

"You're welcome," Eren replied. "It is my honor to be of help to someone as pretty as you."

"Well, look at you," Hannah laughed on the other end. "You are getting better at complimenting girls."

"I know it is quite late," Eren said, leaning against the wall, "but I was thinking... would you like to go out on a date with me?"

There was a pause. "Wow. Sure. Every girl would want to be around a guy like you right now. I would love to go, but my parents won't let me out this late."

"What if I go and ask them for permission?"

"I don't think they are going to allow it," she admitted, "but it is worth trying, right?"

"Yeah, it is," Eren said. "But first, I want to surprise you. Can you send me your bank details? I want you to get some clothes to wear for when we meet."

Hannah sounded skeptical. "Eren, I have clothes. And besides, where would you get that kind of money?"

"Relax and trust me," he said, his voice dropping an octave. "I love surprising girls."

Hannah laughed and sent the details, not actually expecting a single cent from the "Errand Omega." After the call ended, she headed downstairs to find her mother. On the way, she spotted her mom deep in conversation with a man who looked like trouble. Realizing she might get into an argument if she interrupted, Hannah turned to head back to her room.

"Hannah? Why are you going back?" her father called out from the living room. "You came down for a reason."

"Don't worry, Dad," she called back. "Continue what you are doing."

She retreated to her room and shut the door. Just as she sat on her bed, her phone buzzed with an alert. She blinked at the screen, her jaw dropping.

[Credit: $2,000.00]

"How?" she whispered, covering her mouth with her hand. "How can an Omega have this much money?"

Even though she was unranked, she came from a wealthy human family. She knew that tossing $2,000 to a random person was something only the elite did. It was suspicious, but when she saw the description, she couldn't help but smile.

Get yourself a good dress.

She quickly texted him back: Thank you very much, Eren. But I hope you don't get into trouble.

Back at the Omega house, Eren received the message and grinned. Immediately, the cyan screen flickered into life.

[Congratulations! You spent $2,000 on someone who likes you.]

[Cashback Multiplier Triggered: x10]

"Wow," Eren whispered, his eyes widening. "It is real. It is actually real!"

He started jumping around his room, muffled thuds hitting the floor as he danced in the dark. His balance had rocketed from $14,500 to $34,500 in a matter of seconds. He was rich. For an Omega, he was practically a king.

But the system wasn't finished.

[Congratulations! You have unlocked: Personal Transport.]

[Item: Neiman Marcus Limited Edition Fighter]

"What? A motorcycle this expensive?" Eren stared at the image of the sleek, aggressive machine. "Can I liquidate this?"

He knew this specific bike was worth up to $11 million. If he could turn that into cash, he wouldn't just be a C-Rank; he would be rivaling the Emperor Guild.

[Notice: You cannot liquidate. Sports vehicles are not accepted until Rank C. You do not currently have the 'Piloting' skill. Liquidating now will cause a serious system error.]

Eren paused. The system was right. If an Omega suddenly showed up with $11 million in his account, the Emperor’s Guild would trace it back to his family in hours. They would kill him just to see where the money came from.

"Can I liquidate it later when I level up?" he asked.

[Yes. You can.]

A digital image of a key appeared on the screen. Eren reached out and swiped at it. The hologram solidified, turning into cold, heavy metal that fell onto the floor with a loud clink.

Eren picked up the key, feeling the weight of it in his palm. His life was moving faster than he ever imagined.

"Number one goal, check," he whispe

red. "Get a motorbike and a beautiful lady."

    Eren burst through the heavy double doors of the testing block, his boots hitting the pavement with a frantic, joyful thud. He was jumping, punching the air as if he could touch the very sky that had once looked down on him."I am rich! I am fucking rich now!" he screamed. The sheer volume of his voice echoed off the sterile stone walls of the academy, but he didn't care. He was so caught up in his victory that he didn't even notice the three figures walking majestically toward the entrance.Victoria, Helen, and Olivia stopped dead in their tracks."Isn't that Eren McPherson?" Helen asked. She squinted, her eyes following the muscular back of the man retreating toward the parking lot.Victoria let out a sharp, mocking tsk. "That boy? Eren? He must be one of the new students. Look at that build.""No, I am very sure that's Eren the omega," Helen insisted, her voice trembling slightly."Eren is small and looks pale," Olivia corrected, her voice cold and final. "That boy's build is like

    In the East Wing of Audrex Academy, the air was heavy with the scent of expensive perfume and the quiet hum of air conditioning. Ms. Jane was at the front of the room, her voice droning on about anger management techniques that none of the students intended to use.In the back row, the atmosphere was entirely different. Victoria and Helen were leaning toward Olivia, who sat like a queen on a throne she didn't have to earn. Helen tapped a manicured nail against her desk, her eyes darting toward the teacher before she whispered, "Olivia. Olivia!"Olivia rotated her chair with a slow, deliberate grace. Ms. Jane caught her eye, but the teacher quickly looked back at her textbook, continuing her lecture as if she were alone in the room. No one dared to challenge the Elite X, especially not a middle-class instructor whose job depended on the Board of Directors."Why are you disturbing me, Helen?" Olivia asked, her voice silky and bored."You know, ever since that day... what you did to that

    "What did he say his name was?" someone from the gathering crowd muttered."I didn't hear him quite well. Did he say McPherson?" another whispered.The lady behind the registration desk paused. She leaned forward as if she hadn't processed the words correctly. "What did you say your name was again?""Eren McPherson," he repeated. His voice was steady. It held a resonance that seemed to vibrate through the hardwood of the desk.She began typing the name into her terminal with a skeptical frown. After a few moments of clicking, her hands froze. "But the system says you killed yourself," she stated flatly. She pulled her glasses down to the tip of her nose and looked at him. She looked at his boots, his well-built frame, and finally his face. "The Eren McPherson in these records and the one standing right beside me... they both have white hair. But the boy in the file looks like a stray strand of noodles."Eren offered a thin, dangerous smile. In his past life, he would have been fidgeti

    The crushing weight on Eren’s chest began to lift as the cyan light of the interface pulsed with a cold, unforgiving rhythm. The shared agony he felt from his stepfather’s injuries receded into a dull throb.[Penalty Update: For going against the system, your quest time has been reduced to 48 hours. Take the promotion exam now.]The text flickered and vanished before Eren could even draw a full breath to protest. He stood alone on the outskirts of the district, his hands shaking as he gripped the handlebars of his silent machine."Because I chose wealth, I won't be able to use power?" he asked the empty air. "What if I am in danger? What happens then?"He ran his fingers through his shock of white hair, looking down at his own body. The muscles were there, tight and defined under his expensive new leather, but they felt like a hollow shell."With all this strength, I am not allowed to use it. Why didn't I choose the other path? Now this foolish system is commanding me to go to the Aca

    The silence in the living room was so thick it felt like it could be cut with a knife. Eren’s heart hammered against his ribs as he stared at his stepfather. For a horrifying second, he thought the old man had somehow seen into his mind and witnessed the shameful, heated moment with Lala. He braced himself for a blow or an accusation of being a pervert."Snap out of it!" Mr. Lilmore barked.Eren blinked, the fog in his mind clearing. He realized then that his father wasn't talking about his thoughts toward Lala. He was pointing a trembling, accusing finger toward the back of the house. He was talking about the bike."I asked you a question. Has the cat caught your tongue?" the man demanded.Eren’s mother stepped forward, her face etched with worry as she tried to move between them. "Stop yelling at my child. He just got home."Mr. Lilmore didn't listen. In a fit of blind rage, he shoved her out of the way. She wasn't prepared for the force, and she tumbled backward, landing hard on th

    What the fuck? The system can actually do something like this?"Eren whispered the words to himself as he drove home in a flash. The wind whipped against his face but the sheer speed of the Neiman Marcus made the world feel like it was standing still. He parked the bike at the secluded spot he had sighted earlier and moved with practiced urgency. He grabbed the thick oil stained blanket and draped it over the frame until the gleaming titanium was completely hidden from prying eyes.He didn't take the front path. Instead he slipped through the back door and ran immediately toward his small cramped room. His heart was pounding against his ribs. He almost slipped on the worn floorboards in his haste because he wasn't looking at his surroundings. His entire focus was locked on that wardrobe door.He burst into his room and flung his phone onto the unmade bed. He gripped the handle of the wardrobe and pulled it open. He stood there frozen. It was a masterpiece. This was a col
